Checking the System with Control Solution
Why you should do a control solution test:
◗OneTouch® Ultra® Control Solution is used to check that the meter and the test strips are working together as a system and that you are performing the test correctly.
◗It is very important that you do this simple check routinely to make sure you get an accurate result.
When you should do a control solution test:
◗To practice the test process instead of using blood.
◗When you open a new vial of test strips.
◗Once a week.
◗Whenever you suspect that the meter or test strips are not working properly.
◗If you have had repeated unexpected blood glucose test results (as described on page 3).
◗After dropping the meter.
Note: Refer to additional information in the OneTouch® Ultra® Control Solution Package.
